Wash Away Mom’s Worries! Tiny Buds Bottle & Utensil Wash, Made from Food Safe Ingredients

 

Angeli Rose De Guzman and her two month-old son, Sebastian Al-Qasem

 Chemically tainted baby bottles?  Moms, especially those who work outside their homes and leave the care of their toddlers to yayas, need to be assured that when they go outside, baby bottles will not only be germ-free but also toxin-free! A shiny and seemingly clean bottle does not mean a safe bottle to use for babies. Commercial dishwashing liquid can make household utensils squeaky clean, however, the danger of traces of chemical residue left behind as a result of not thoroughly rinsing off baby bottles is always there.

The thought of the possibility of those harsh chemical mixing in the formula of your babies constantly worries mommies.

Wash away those worries by using Tiny Buds Bottle & Utensil Wash, made from food grade ingredients, thicker concentration and not  watery, comes in light  green apple scent  that cleans the bottles well and does not leave an unpleasant  smell on the nipple of baby bottle. It also guaranteed  Paraben-free, *SLS-free and is biodegradable and earth friendly.

Tiny Buds Bottle Wash comes in a slim capped bottles that takes up little storage space in the pantry. It can be dispensed in a bottle container with a safety cap; a special safety feature that shields away from crawling insects at night and other contaminants when left in the washing area.  A safety feature most mommies value and what's more, it also comes in a refillable pack.

More and more moms have discovered  the effectiveness and safety of Tiny Buds Bottle Wash.  For instance, Nurse is aware of the harmful effects of SLS such that when she found out about this new product, she immediately replaced her usual dishwashing detergent that she uses for the baby bottles of her almost 1-year old son, Sebastian Al-Qasem.

“I don’t want my baby to be exposed to SLS. That is why I use Tiny Buds Bottle Wash because it does not have SLS. Its lather is rich. At the same time, it does not have a strong smell like detergent,” she explains.

How to Cut My Own Child's Hair Safely and Easily

My youngest child is very fidgety since birth and I find it inadvisable to bring him to the barber to do his hair cut.

I had to cut his hair while he was asleep using ordinary pair of scissors but it was messy and I couldn't get a desirable outcome.

My habit of visiting Japan Home Centre led me to discover a tool that would help me solve the tediousness of cutting my son's hair. 

I saw this Php 88.00 HAIR CUTTER and I didn't even think twice. I bought it instantly. I immediately used it to cut my child's hair the next day and it worked!

This Hair Cutter from Japan Home Centre is one of my best buys! It costs only Php88.00. Would you believe that I use this to cut my youngest son's hair for almost three years already?

HAIR CUTTER'S PACKAGING- Front View

HAIR CUTTER'S PACKAGING- Back View

I would like to give you some tips on how to use this Hair Cutter especially when cutting an active child's hair:

1. You have to do hair cutting during bath time. Fill baby's bath tub with warm water. Make sure that it's not too hot by checking the temperature using your elbows. 

2. Have a spare basinful of warm water and a water dipper beside you for rinsing your child after soaping him.

 

3. Place a small basinful of water where you will put cut hair and wash them off the Hair Cutter.

 

4. Keep your child's favorite bath time toys readily available to make him busy while you're doing his hair cut. Be sure to have more spare toys on hand. Give those toys one at a time just in case your child gets easily distracted.

5. You may sing lullabies to divert your child's attention too.

 It will take you 20-30 minutes to completely shave off your child's hair and 10-15 minutes if you just want a trim.

6. You would notice that your child's bath tub is filled with hair. Do the usual bathing routine--wash his hair and body, then use the spare warm water to rinse him.   

7. Dry your child, groom him, and let him enjoy his new hair cut.

Remember to...

1. Dispose hair properly.

Don't flush hair in the toilet bowl or leave it on your sink. Just drain water from the basin and wrap hair on a newspaper and throw it in a bin for biodegradable stuff.

2. Wash and air dry the Hair Cutter thoroughly before storing it back to its packaging to make it last for a long time and for the blade to stay sharp and rust-free.

Why do I love this product so much?

PROS:

1. Blades are safe for both kids and adults. They are made not to cut you unecessarily.   

2. The handle is easy to grip and slip-free.

3. The long blade may be used just to trim hair while the short one to completely shave the hair off.  

Short and long blades for comparison

4. It helps you save money. 

 In a salon for kids who have experts in handling different types of kids for their hair cut, the amount ranges from Php250.00-  300.00 per session. I used Japan Home Center's Hair Cutter 10 times already! Imagine the amount of money I saved!

Php250.00 x 10 = Php2,500.00 (amount of hair cut in 10 visits to the salon) - Php88.00 (amount of Hair Cutter)= Php2,412.00  + transportation expenses (amount I saved for almost three years)

4. It gives me confidence to cut my son's hair without hurting him or being hurt myself because the product is safe and it works!

CONS:

Availability is just my concern. I remember going to different branches just to purchase this for my niece.  Most of those branches don't sell this, have limited stocks, or always out of stock.  

If you want to purchase this Hair Cutter and enjoy its benefits, just visit any branch of Japan Home Centre.

REVIEW: Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 086 SUGAR PLUM

 My sisters-in-law gave me lots of cosmetics last year during my visit in which Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 086 SUGAR PLUM was included. I fell in love with this lip color at first use. It became one of my favorites!  

Please continue reading! I am so excited to share why.



Product Details

According to Rimmel London

Colour that turns heads! Intense long lasting colour for up to 8 hours wear +25% colour impact! Smooth creamy texture for comfortable wear all day long.

According to Hunt for Dye UK

• Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick delivers up to 8 hours staying power by incorporating Colour Protect technology that gives your lips up to 25% more colour impact.
• Smooth on pure London class. A true chic treat.
• Unique, sexy and unconventional--creating gorgeous, hypnotizing tones that make you look, then look again. Wow. A whole new world.
• Reflects light like never before, light-reflective properties of black diamond to reach colours beyond traditional spectrum.

Rimmel’s extensive range is kept bang up-to-the-minute as it translates the look of London into new shades, products, packaging and advertising. But however creative and fashion-forward, Rimmel products are always easy to use, versatile and accessible, designed to encourage experimentation and self-expression. 

In My Opinion...

Pros: Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 086 SUGAR PLUM glided smoothly when I applied it on my lips. My lips were flaky and dry before putting it on but they turned out very smooth, supple, soft, moisturized, luminous, dazzling,  brilliant, plump, and flake-free after initial application. I didn't need to prep my lips with lip balm to make my lips moist. It gave my lips the right amount of moisture and shine, without any greasy feel. It's long-wearing! The lip color and moisture lasted for 6-8 hours! I didn't have to retouch often.  

The packaging is very sleek, durable, and mess-free. I don't have to put the cover slowly just to maintain the lip color's integrity. In case that it falls, both the case and lip color don't break at all. Even though the case is not transparent, it has a label underneath where the name, product number, and color/shade are indicated. 

In case I need to bring only a few stuff, I choose to grab it because it can be used as cheek and eye color too.

I also love it's strawberry scent and flavor! It smells so good and tastes delicious!

Bye,bye flaky and dry lips after application! They became brilliantly dazzling! I also applied it on my wrist and white paper for color comparison and better visualization.

I love the packaging! It's classy,sleek, durable, neat, and easy to slip on my small purse or pocket.

I used Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 086 SUGAR PLUM not just on my lips but on my cheeks too.

I also tried this shade using a model on this LINK for your reference. You may try other shades too! It's fun!

 

This is how Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 086 SUGAR PLUM looks like when applied on the online model. You may also try other shades.

Cons: The only hassle I see with this product is that it is not readily available in most of the leading shopping malls here in the Philippines. Good thing is a reliable online cosmetic store, Sweet and Sparkle, imports Rimmel London products from USA. You may send the owner, Christine Pioquinto, a personal message if you want to purchase this. Rest assured that she is a legitimate online seller and she sells USA or UK made cosmetics reasonably.

 I  recommend Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 086 SUGAR PLUM especially to women who have dry, flaky, or chapped lips.  I assure you, it's worth your money. Search for it's price worldwide though the internet. You'll see that it's affordable!

 To see other shades of Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick you may go to Rimmel London's Official Website.
